Funny how only one valedictorian has gone on to become well-known/famous.  − Reaganaut  12:40, 11 March 2008 (EDT)

It always works out that way. People peak/burn out. Here at Prestigious Law School, they only award summa cum laude once every five years or so, and the recipients are almost universally obscure. Pacman 13:08, 11 March 2008 (EDT)
I recently heard someone claim that "A" students go on to become professors, "B" students go on to work in businesses, and "C" students go on to become CEOs and own those businesses. I assume with grade inflation, we should really be talking about "A", "B+" and "B-" students.  − Reaganaut  13:31, 11 March 2008 (EDT)
That's the line the professors use to make us B- students feel better. Pacman 15:52, 11 March 2008 (EDT)
Ha!  − Reaganaut  17:47, 11 March 2008 (EDT)

When Joyce Kassouf was valedictorian and I was salutatorian at Class Day 1999, we both gave speeches. -- Dave Koenig

That's interesting. Had that been the norm? Any idea when/why that changed to Salutatorian only? Thanks for the info! Absentminded 18:55, 16 November 2010 (EST)
